I have mediated actual national disasters and y’all still think I’m here to be polite about nonsense. Be serious. by Desmond Tutu

Desmond, you say this like you didn’t spend half your life dragging people into behaving properly.

I’m just saying, nobody left those talks feeling serene except him.

Correct. I went home peaceful. That’s what happens when you’re right.

He smiles like a choir director and judges like a whole parliament.

He really said reconciliation, but with a raised eyebrow.

I was trying to be diplomatic and you made every meeting feel like a final exam.

You always had opinions for a man who smiled while absolutely destroying the room.

If the facts are embarrassing, that’s not me being rude, that’s the facts having range.
